EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases a significant historical moment, capturing the grandeur and power of Hulagu Khan as he bestows favor upon the amirs and princes. The scene unfolds in vivid detail, transporting viewers back to the late 16th century when this event took place. Hulagu Khan, along with his brother Mongke Khan, are depicted in striking red letters that emphasize their authority as Mongol overlords of the region. Surrounding them are esteemed figures from various backgrounds, eagerly awaiting their turn to receive favor from the great Khan. The accompanying text on this page narrates the tale of how the Mongols conquered Syria and triumphed over the lords of Ismaili sect of Islam. In meticulous red ink, each previous Ismaili lord is listed after specific numerical markers denoted by "first" through "seventh". This serves as a testament to Hulagu Khan's relentless conquests and dominance over his adversaries. Furthermore, highlighted in vibrant gold hues is a lengthy title that introduces an upcoming section discussing plans for a Mongol invasion into Anatolia (present-day Turkey). This hints at further conquests yet to come under Hulagu Khan's rule. This remarkable artwork not only captures an awe-inspiring feast but also provides valuable insights into historical events and cultural significance during this period. It stands as a testament to Mughal artistry and its ability to preserve important narratives for generations to come.
